Possible meanings are 1) literal, the young woman got out of bed in order to let the man into the house, or 2), metaphorical. Alternate translation: "I prepared myself to make love with my beloved" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
# my hands ... my fingers ... door handle
While these may be euphemisms for the woman's and man's bodies, it is best to translate literally. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-euphemism]])
